Corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019.

Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases.

Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.

@rbreich ok... but *why*?

Corporations have always been greedy. What happened to change their willingness to raise prices across the entire economy?

@killfile @rbreich perhaps lack of regulation, oversight and a GOP obstructed Congress gave big business license to steal (legally)!
